The main components of biosensors are based on well-understood physical processes (such as diffusion, convective flow, energy and mass transfer) as well as chemical and biological reactions, all of which are amenable to differential equations. Using mathematical and computational modeling techniques to characterize the biosensor response as a function of its input parameter in wide range of phy...

The electrochemical performance of single wall carbon nanotube ~SWNT!/Nafion composite electrodes were studied in sulfuric acid solutions. Electrochemical oxidation of the highly dispersed SWNTs within the Nafion matrix results in a dramatic morphological change in the SWNTs. As evidenced by transmission electron microscopy, small bundles of straight-line SWNTs change into curved bundles with r...

In this paper we propose a new knowledge model to understand the dynamic behavior of a Membrane-Electrodes Assembly (MEA) of a Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cell. The model, multiscale and mechanistic, is based on irreversible thermodynamics and electrodynamics, and depends on the internal physical parameters such as the specific catalytic area, the electric permittivity of the materials, the reacti...

Needle-tract seeding refers to the implantation of tumor cells by contamination when instruments, such as biopsy needles, are employed to examine, excise or ablate a tumor. The incidence of this iatrogenic phenomenon is low but it entails serious consequences. Here, as a new method for preventing neoplasm seeding, it is proposed to cause electrochemical reactions at the instrument surface so th...

A general circuit model is derived for the electrical noise of electrode–electrolyte systems, with emphasis on its implications for electrochemical sensors. The noise power spectral densities associated with all noise sources introduced in the model are also analytically calculated. Current and voltage fluctuations in typical electrode–electrolyte systems are demonstrated to originate from eith...

Highly localized nuclear activation in electrochemical systems and other electrical discharge processes have been observed by many laboratories in world. There is an attempt to explain such anomalous phenomena by using torsion field theory and axion model in this report. Anisotopic behaviours of radiation products, burst charaster, “heat after death” of excess energy release in electrical disch...

The step line tension in electrochemical systems differs conceptually from the line tension on metals in the vacuum because it refers to different boundary conditions. A procedure is established for calculating the electrochemical line tension and is applied to a novel model of the interface comprising both a stepped metal electrode and an electrolyte solution. To first order, the potential dep...

The present study focuses on effects of operational parameters on electrochemical wastewater treatment for synthetic wastewater. Electro-oxidation has emerged as one of the advanced oxidation processes gaining more attention because it offers many distinctive advantages over other conventional methods such as versatility, high treatment efficiency, safety, amenability of automation and cost eff...

The paper focuses on the analysis and detection of electroactive compounds using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) combined with electrochemical detection (EC). The fabrication and utilization of electrochemically treated carbon fiber microelectrodes (CFMs) as highly sensitive amperometric detectors in HPLC are described. The applied pretreatment procedure is beneficial for analytic...
